We did BLW from the start, but now, at 14 months, DS is still making a huge mess at mealtimes, chucking food and cutlery on the floor, barely eating a lot of the time and constantly trying to climb out if his high chair.
I feel like giving him autonomy at meal times has massively backfired and descended into unwanted behaviour, while all my friends’ traditionally weaned babies seem to eat much better at meal times and make less mess.
Trouble is, we can’t go back now, and we’re just stuck with stressful chaotic meal times (which also makes eating out a nightmare).
Anyone else find this or have advice??
